They're using a very outdated version of this assessment, which isn't good practice imo. It's called the Lawton IADL Scale by Lawton & Brody and it's from 1969. They initially excluded men from these areas to avoid inaccurate scores and gender bias- at the time, most men would rate themselves "0" in those areas because their partners did those tasks, not because they themselves were unable to do those tasks. Here is more information. "While current practice is to include all eight domains for me…

You’re confusing caution with bigotry. Women being wary of men in certain contexts isn’t “sexism”, it’s a survival response rooted in lived experience and overwhelming statistics. It’s not personal. Yes, men face certain disadvantages. And yes, men face violence too- mostly from other men. The fact that men are more likely to be murdered, assaulted, or incarcerated says a lot about how men are socialized, how systems (set up and enforced predominantly by men) treat male behavior, and how patriar…

Race is not the same as gender. Racism is not the same as women being weary of men in certain situations. You're falsely equating power-based fear with prejudice-based racism. There are reasons why black people are overrepresented in crime statistics (racism in the justice system, over-policing in predominantly black neighborhoods, socioeconomic disparities), just like there are reasons why women are skeptical of men they don't know (over 50% of women have experienced sexual harassment, 1 in 3 w…

Of course, there are probably more female perpetrators than what's reported and I agree that a big reason is because male victims are not taken seriously and are told to "man up". It may take them a long time to even realize/accept that they were victims of abuse because of societies ideas surrounding male victims and female perpetrators. I also want to highlight that some men/boys are victims of male perpetrators and some girls/women are victims of female perpetrators. My overall point was that…

First, I'm so sorry you went through those horrible experiences. None of it was your fault, and it makes you no less of a man. Those women- who were supposed to protect you, care for you, and support you- failed you on every level. I want to say this as gently as possible, as I can definitely understand where you're coming from; women who respond to you in fear or weariness do so because they don't know you. They don't know about your past and they don't know that you wouldn't do something like …

That's inaccurate and disrespectful to the actual history and brutality of slavery. Slaves had no legal rights, no autonomy, no protections. They were treated as property, bought and sold, beaten, raped, and killed without consequences. There was no political recourse, nor legal recognition of their humanity. Comparing that to men today who vote, own property, lead governments, run corporations, and have full citizenship trivializes the suffering of millions of men and women who lived and died u…

"What do you dislike about modern feminism?" I'm not sure if this is exclusive to modern feminism, but I wish more people would educate themselves on what feminism stands for and the history of feminism before using it to justify hatred towards anyone. There are too many people (especially online and ESPECIALLY on reddit) who say they're feminists and then say horrible things, generalize, or just completely misconstrue what feminism means. From what I've seen, many of these people are young (so …

...which is why I said a better way to describe toxic masculinity is "societal gender norms that harm men".
/r/MensRights13/06/25 10:55 AM

No, it's not always toxic. From a feminist perspective, "toxic masculinity" doesn't mean "all masculinity = bad"; it's referring to certain harmful gender norms. I guess there are some feminists who use it to mean that masculinity is bad, but that's incorrect and they're either misinformed or purposely being hostile or something. Examples of toxic masculinity (or, to put it in better terms "societal gender norms that harm men"): -emotional repression ("man up", "real men/boys don't cry"): leads …

Yeah, none of the links I shared showed feminists marching in the streets for paternity leave, but public protest isn't the only valid or meaningful form of activism. A lot of feminist work happens through advocacy, research, lobbying, and legislation. That's still fighting for change, even if it doesn’t look like a traditional protest. The articles I linked were from feminists connecting paternity leave to gender equality and pushing for it as part of a broader agenda. That’s not a side benefit…

You're mischaracterizing both the feminist stance and the real-world policy dynamics around leave. Feminism has explicitly supported paternity leave. It’s not just about correlation with women in parliament; it's also the values that feminists advocate for once they get into those positions. You can’t dismiss that by saying “it has no connection with feminism, only gender” when the entire reason these women push for equitable caregiving leave is because of feminist principles. Especially dismant…

The "me-ternity" leave thing is silly, but I do think Americans should get more paid vacation time regardless of gender. And women should absolutely get period leave if they want- consider yourself lucky if you've never experienced the pain and various other symptoms associated with periods. In high school mine were so bad that I had to stay home 1-3 days every month. This continued when I started working. Here are some other sources of feminists supporting paternity leave: "Why paternity leave …

In your second paragraph you are so close to understanding and agreeing with the idea of patriarchy that it's almost laughable. Literally just switch the gender to male and it's the exact same concept. You align with feminism more than you realize.

I'm not saying you should care what they think about you. I'm saying you shouldn't joke about rape. I understand taking the high road is hard sometimes but it doesn't solve anything to make jokes at the expense of SA victims (some of which are men in this sub). We have to be better than that.

This is from her Wikipedia page. In March 2008, her ex-boyfriend raped her and stabbed her several times in the arms. Two days later she was attacked with acid by her ex-boyfriend and an accomplice, causing major damage to her face and blindness in one eye. Piper underwent pioneering surgery to restore her face and vision. Both attackers were convicted and given life sentences. In 2018, one of the attackers was released after serving nine years in prison. Do you want to retract your statement? O…

Because in the UK most of the cases that make it to court are obviously false. What data are you basing this on? The UK's Ministry of Justice and Home Office suggest about 3-4% of rape reports are false. Other studies in the U.S. have concluded that estimates for the percentage of false reports begin to converge around 2-8%. In a poll of 2407 Americans, 8% reported being falsely accused of abuse (this includes domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and other forms) and 16% reported know…

In my opinion the vast vast majority of rape allegations are completely false. Why? This is a pretty serious claim- most rape and sexual assault is under reported, especially by male victims.

Apologies in advance for butting in on this thread. I'm going to try to explain it, and if you disagree that's fine. But I'm assuming you genuinely want an answer, so I'll be as straightforward as I can. No serious feminist thinks “the patriarchy” means that all men are in charge or that every man is to blame. The patriarchy is a social system built over many years that tends to prioritize male authority, uphold rigid gender roles, and normalize power dynamics that offer some benefits to men whi…

I also appreciate your thoughtful reply. You're absolutely right that we shouldn't judge a whole movement by its loudest or most extreme voices- just like not every MRA agrees with Paul Elam, not every feminist agrees with Valerie Solanas. Those generalizations tend to shut down important discussions before they start.

Yeah, I definitely think male therapists and exclusive places for men are important, especially when it comes to mental health.

That’s a helpful clarification- honestly, I think we’re more in agreement than not. You’re right that “The Patriarchy” isn’t like the Illuminati; I'm not saying it is either. It's not like there's a board room somewhere where 10 evil powerful men are moving other men around like chess pieces to do their dirty work under the mission of "oppress all women".

If the OP had truly read through all of this user's comments and posts from the past 4 years, they conveniently left out all of her statements about how abusive her ex was BEFORE she hit him in that incident.

I get what you're saying, I really do. I originally asked that question to get to the core of why some men were opposed to the concept, and also to see if there was a better way to phrase things when I talk to potential allies. I'm going to be brutally honest, and I hope you don't take it personally: the patriarchy is a huge aspect of feminism and feminists as a whole are not going to change it to make people feel better.

Eh, I'm personally not a big fan of using that quote out of context because it ignores some nuances. Yes, the patriarchy theory does frame it that way (men = oppressor class, women = oppressed class) and yes, there are Marxist feminists. But I think a big misunderstanding is that most men are going around intentionally oppressing women like evil movie villains. Oftentimes men aren't even aware that they're benefiting from the patriarchy, or perpetuating bias against women (and even themselves) b…

Thanks for your thoughtful reply as well! You’re absolutely correct to point out that capitalist-industrial people in power would benefit from a larger, cheaper labor pool- and they did! During both world wars, women were suddenly welcomed to work in factories in droves. However once the wars ended and the male veterans returned home, those same women were pushed back into domesticity. So the system didn’t resist women working in principle; it resisted a permanent redistribution of power. (I als…

Right, so the point of the patriarchy isn’t to say that all men have all the power in every situation. It’s to describe widespread patterns in how social norms and systems have developed over time. It's intersectional. It’s not a coincidence that women’s health is under-researched when most doctors and scientists are men. It's not necessarily about individual intent (I'm sure there was at least a small portion of doctors, scientists, and midwives who tried to treat women equitably throughout his…

I'll reply to both of your comments here so so it's all in one place. There's a difference between personal bias and systemic power. As I said in the original post, misandry exists and is systemic to some degree. However, it doesn't carry the same weight or widespread social impact as misogyny. One person saying something hateful about men on reddit and some others agreeing isn’t quite comparable to structural disadvantages that have long term, social consequences.

Hi, appreciate your response. I addressed this at large in my post and in other comments, if you'd like to read them for more info. TL;DR: the men in power in a patriarchy are usually wealthy, white, and/or able bodied. By no means do they represent every man, nor do they have all men's best interests in mind. However, the fact that they are men still affords all men privileges that women don't have, no matter how those privileges manifest. As I included in a different comment: the patriarchy is…

I admit I'm not as convinced about the 2-10% statistic as I was previously, though I'm still confident that most SA continues to go unreported and law enforcement could do a better job handling the issue as a whole (especially when it comes to male victims- both of SA and of false reporting). I see when I wrote "The remaining 90-98% were det…

This is straight up fear mongering dude. The first study is referring to a time very recently after DNA testing was even used to convict people in rape cases. 25% reflects the amount of people who were wrongly convicted and proven to be innocent with DNA evidence- it doesn't mean that anyone was lying or falsely accusing that the rape itself happened, it means that the identification of the suspect was wrong. Forensics have come a very long way since 1996. Fewer people are wrongly convicted toda…

That's not how statistics work, babe. "The remaining 90-98% is a grey area of unknowns" The remaining 90-98% were determined by law to be actual, evidence-based, attempted or committed cases of sexual assault. There are probably differences in severity throughout the cases, sure. When you call it a "grey area of unknowns" that invalidates and trivializes ALL of those cases in which it was determined a sexual assault occurred. Do you not see a problem with that? Yes, the research on false accusat…

Please show where I astroturfed over the issues men face over false accusations. In the first paragraph I wrote that I sympathize with men who are falsely accused and highlighted why false accusations are harmful. "Biased, unfactual, unfounded, and usual astroturfed BS"- Everything I wrote is supported by data and research. I provided links and you can see for yourself. Kenan Basic's accuser was sentenced to 9 months in prison for her false allegations. Here is the news article. In 2023 for a co…

Let me start by saying I sympathize with men who are falsely accused of sexual assault. Throughout U.S. history, black men have been targeted by false SA accusations. False allegations are devastating for all the reasons you mentioned, are often racist, and invalidate real SA victims. False accusations of sexual assault account for about 2-10% of all sexual assault cases, but it's hard to get an accurate number because in some cases there isn't enough evidence to convict (which doesn't necessari…

This response proves that you're determined to misunderstand every word I'm writing. I agreed with you about the UN and Boko Haram. I agreed with you that men are the victims of random crimes and murder more than women, at the hands of other men. My previous reply was the first time I said anything about men thinking they're oppressed in the entire conversation. The same things that happen to women happen to men. Men are human beings. Bye ✌️ *Edited to fix phrasing of first sentence

I said we could go back and forth debating whether she actually had that experience herself or if she made it up, but the fact remains that many women relate to it whether you think it's ok or not. The quote is saying that men are afraid of women laughing at them. You disagreed and said men aren't afraid of that, and that's fine. The quote is also saying women are afraid of men killing them. I, as a woman, am agreeing with that statement. So, like many things on the internet, it's a matter of op…

Sure, Atwood wasn't citing research when she wrote that. We can debate whether it was anecdotal from her own lived experiences or she completely pulled it out of nowhere, but it gets bandied about because women relate to it. A good number of MRA posts and comments are filled with men talking about women ridiculing, rejecting, or avoiding them. Maybe it's not fear, like Atwood says, but it's definitely something that at the very least bothers men enough to talk about it frequently. Also, women ar…

The quote is "Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them." The point Atwood was making was if you ask men what they fear most about women they'll generally respond with getting ridiculed, getting rejected, being made to feel inferior/inadequate, abandonment, losing control/dominance. If you ask women what they fear most about men, their answers include getting killed and/or experiencing physical/sexual abuse. Of course it's valid for men to be afraid t…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
